If Kodus isn’t reviewing your PRs, check these common causes:

​
1. Automated review is disabled

Verify that automated reviews are enabled:
  • Go to Code Review Settings → General
  • Check that Automated Review is turned on
  • Or verify in kodus-config.yml:
automatedReviewActive: true

​
2. Webhook is not configured

Kodus needs webhooks to know when a PR is opened or updated:
  • Go to your Git provider’s webhook settings
  • Verify the Kodus webhook URL is registered and active
  • Check for failed delivery attempts

​
3. PR title matches an ignored keyword

If the PR title contains an ignored keyword, Kodus skips the review: 
ignoredTitleKeywords:
  - "release"
  - "WIP"
Check your ignoredTitleKeywords setting.

​
4. Base branch is not monitored

By default, Kodus reviews PRs targeting the default branch. If your PR targets a different branch, add it to baseBranches: 
baseBranches:
  - develop
  - staging

​
5. Review cadence is set to manual

If review cadence is set to Manual, Kodus only reviews when you comment @kody start-review.

​
6. Auto-pause is active

If you’ve pushed multiple times quickly, auto-pause may have kicked in. Wait for the cooldown period or comment @kody start-review to trigger manually.

​
Still not working?

Try commenting @kody start-review on the PR to trigger a manual review. If that doesn’t work, check the Troubleshooting guide.
